Summary
- There are many signs that can help identify when a tech support scam is in play.
- One of the biggest clues is if you are asked for too much personal information, such as banking details or your home address.
- Scammers often call from unknown numbers, so be wary of this when picking up.
- Requests for payment for any services, otherwise known as bait scams, are another giveaway.
- If you hear unusual voice glitches during an audio call, this is a warning sign.
- Be wary of callers who sound hesitant or are overly formal as this is not usual behaviour.
- Technical support teams will not approach you; you will normally approach them, so be careful of unsolicited calls.
- These scam calls can be very damaging and can result in identity theft or loss of finances.
